Blackfire Farm is a small diversified farm located in beautiful Hancock and Greenfield, NH run by Douglas and Elizabeth Higley. Through regenerative and holistic systems we provide our community with nutrient rich produce and pasture raised livestock.
How we grow
Our vegetables are grown to foster the health of our soil and the people of our community. We use cover cropping, smothering, mulching and composting to promote biodiversity and nutrient balance. While we are not ‘certified organic’, we never use pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. We seek to minimize off farm inputs to create a self-sustaining system. We use organic compost and soil. All this hard work pays off in beautiful, nutrient dense produce. This holistically minded growing system is intended to sequester carbon in the soil and create food that is actively regenerative to the environment.
How we raise
We raise our sheep, Scottish Highland cattle, chicken and pigs in rotational systems that put the needs of the animals first. Our animal management creates symbiotic systems among the different species. Our sheep and cattle are raised on pasture and fed high quality hay in the winter months. Our heritage breed broiler chickens are pasture raised and moved to new pasture twice daily. We feed organic, soy free feed and supplement this with meal worms which we raise right here on the farm.
​
We only feed certified organic, soy free feeds. Blackfire Farm seeks to minimize off farm inputs at any point possible.
We strongly believe in processing our own animals on farm. By raising our animals from the very beginning to the very end we are able to be fully present and responsible for each stage of their lives, including the end. As permitted by NH state law, all our poultry and rabbits are processed on farm. Our lambs, beef cattle and pigs are sent to a local USDA inspected processing facility.
